WR902 like CLIENT WIFI can't connect to hotspot IPHONE but only with smartphone ANDROID ?
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
after many attempts with different models of iphone I came to the conclusion that the product does not connect to wifi with the hotspot function;
I therefore ask for help if someone knows how to solve the problem.

Hello, thanks for asking.
Do you want to extend the wireless signal of your android phone's hotspot? If this is the case, you may check the below article as we have tested with several smartphones that the pocket router can work with the hotspot Wi-Fi without an issue:

Fixed the problem by changing ip address. And disabled DHCP... other thing is my phone uses randomized MAC address....

What is the operation mode of the 902AC?
You can try to configure it as a hotspot router or range extender. Instruction attached below:

Besides, is there any special settings existed on the mobile hotspot?
Have a nice day.

@Kevin_Z yes I want to extend hot spot of mobile.. but it's wotks fine some time dynamic IP shows nothing 000000 everything is ZIro.. I have two phones I always swipe hot spot.. everything is connect to hotspot.. problem is some times it doesn't work specially dynamic IP.. now I am using static IP and fixed IP for each device.. I don't know why dynamic IP doesn't work.. it works only first time later it doesn't work.
My usage is I have two phones.. always swip Hotspot with same SSID.. MC adress did not locked..
It works fine.. fail to optain dynamic IP.. doesn't allow switch /togale hotspots..

May I know the working mode of the WR902AC? Do you mean you are using static IP for its WAN at the moment?
Are both phones using the same SIM card provider? Have you ever tried to connect this WR902AC to another hotspot just do a comparison? If the case is that it keeps disconnecting, we assume it's more like the hotspot issue, the hotspot signal may not be stable.
Hope you could get a standard hotspot to perform a test and compare if that makes a difference.
Thanks.

both phones have same internet provider. But it's works almost but some time it can't connect.. right now I am using static IP.. that also some times can't connect.. dynamic IP doesn't work.. if I click on detect it shows Dynamic IP but it shows 0.0.0.0.. if I reset and resetup with dynamic IP works later it will stop.. again 0.0.0.0. so now I use static IP. But some times it won't connect.
Phone / Hotspot A and B
A to B works
Some times B to A doesn't work.
I am using Hotspot mode..
I tried wifi extender.. that is also doesn't work.. specially USB sharing, and hotspot swipe..

Thanks. If that is the case, I don't think we can troubleshoot further on the WR902AC, as the hotspot connection from your phone may not be stable to establish a permanent connection. While you can enable the Lock to AP on its connection page to give it a shot.
As I suggested, you can try to do a simple test to connect the WR902AC to a normal wifi, then confirm if that is stable.
